- These five exercises coupled with the correct dieting will give you a firm, big butt in just a few months

It is true sister, you can grow a derriere. A butt. It doesn't matter whether you were born with a flat-as-a- table fanny or your behind seems to drop every year. It is possible to get a butt that looks like a pear. Or a melon or a peach. You get the idea.

I visited Jaheca Gym, at Obama Estate in Eastlands over the weekend. I was charged with bringing you information on how you can chase your tiny-butt, flat-butt, no-but-at-all ghosts forever.

For starters, a good posterior, I was told, begins in the kitchen. You cannot pick mangoes from a date palm-he said. You start by eating right in the correct portions, work out and watch the magic happen.

Now lets got get that posterior, ladies.

1. Squats

Very important. Stand with your feet and shoulder apart. Lower yourself to the ground while keeping your back straight as if you were going to sit on a chair. Only that this time there is no chair. Pause when your thighs are parallel to the floor.

Rise to the initial position and redo the exercise 10 times without breaking.

2. Leg-raise when lying on the side/ the coveted 'runners butt'

Lie in your left side with your left knee bent at 90 degrees. Raise your right leg as far as it can go without bending it. Press your left fingers onto your posterior to inch it forward. Support the back of your head with your hand as you bring your right leg down.

Repeat 7-10 times for each side.

3. Bridge

While lying on your back with your heels close to your posterior and full length arms on the floor, lift yourself up till your body appears to be like an incline. While lifting your torso, contract your butt not your hamstrings. Repeat exercise for 8-10 times.
